Kline, a talented multidisciplinary artist, presents a collection of abstract sculptures and large canvas paintings that depict mesmerizing and eclectic creatures and flora. Through her solo show, Kline delves into the essence of the human experience, exploring her theories on the relationship between sex, love, and mental illness. She also contemplates the potential of human creative intelligence to surpass our primal instincts and challenge the laws of nature and humanity. This exhibition creates a captivating battle between the heart and the mind, offering a unique glimpse into Kline's extraordinary perspective.
In addition to her artistic pursuits, Kline holds various other professions, including being a psychotherapist and bartender. Drawing inspiration from her experiences in dimly lit bars on sixth street, her interactions with clients as a mental health professional, and her personal journey as a woman navigating love, loss, and life, Kline has also written a book titled "Things She'll Never Say: reflections on the human condition." This book features a collection of essays, poems, and contemplations that beautifully complement her abstract paintings and sculptures. Select pieces from the book will be paired with her artwork at the exhibition, providing viewers with a comprehensive understanding of her stories and visual creations.
Self-Expression has no boundaries. Tim Kerr, Lisa Alley, and Jamie Morrison are not to be categorized; they refuse to confine to just one choice, medium, and art form. Their group show ‘But wait, there’s more’ at Bolm Arts unpacks music and the visual arts from their separate boxes. Like Sun Ra, "Not of your world." The end goal is creativity, expression, and giving voice, guaranteeing a wild and colorful group show in which lines get blurred between all categories of creation.
Kerr, Alley, and Morrison are known for their creativity in music, performance, and songwriting in their myriad of bands spanning a multitude of genres (Kerr - Big Boys, Poison 13, Monkey Wrench, Up Around the Sun), (Alley - The Well, Mugger, TVs Daniel), (Morrison - Pale Angels, Dog Heaven, Motorbike), but the needle doesn't stop there.
A message from the artists, "Self Expression flows frome well found deep in all of us. It is a performance, a song, a poem, a photo, a piece of clothing, a quilt, a rug, a sculpture, a teapot, or a painting. There is no limit. To some, like us, we do it and need it to live, just like breathing the air we breathe. Come celebrate with us, and maybe, if you have not already, find a glass to drink from your very own well."

We’re starting the year off strong with an exhibition of works by Arielle Austin & Bolm Arts member Kel Brown!
Here’s an excerpt from their write up;
“ their experiences as visual artists have become more like the forceful liberation of one’s true spiritual and creative self - coming out to play through their chosen mediums”
The work is truly powerful and we can’t wait to share it with the broader community. There will be a dj as well, so the vibe will be on point.
